THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

  

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"

WHEN BABY BOOMERS WILL SOON BE OUTNUMBERED
by younger digitals/Millennials whose history will be babies under Elder Reagan
Whose children remembering only Bush Wars/one wing the West and Right
and a media drenched environment/with tiny interregnums-Carter,Clinton,Obama..
Otherwise Computers /Corporations.Alternative for the young?Coachella/Cosplay/Comic Con.
Special effects and games.Not Las Vegas but hand-held...Parents PTSD vs young ADHD.
MARVEL movies .Monster franchises.Comics to graphic novels/manga.
Ancient fascisms resurrect-sexism exposed by Me Too but ageism increases.
Black Lives Matter replaces Vietnam Moratoriums/Memorials.Nobody asks about Iraq#1&#2.
Much less the occupation of Afghanistan,with bases in every nation.
Some young are bloodied in street demonstrations for civil liberties
Some police murder.We ask for PEACE CORPS over police force.
Yet the young travel,know permaculture,are aware of other cultures
Internet Citizens with Mobile phones.Everywhere is home.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
